Chapter 3 Lightning Protection
3.1 Cabling Reasonably
In the actual network environment, you may need cable outdoors and indoors, and
the requirements for cabling outdoors and indoors are different. A reasonable
cabling system can decrease the damage of induced lightning to devices.
Note: It's not recommended using Ethernet cables outdoors. When cabling
outdoors, please use a signal lightning arrester.
Requirements for Cabling Outdoors
Aerial cabling without safeguard is not allowed.
It’s not allowed cabling down the building to connect network devices in different
floors.
Outdoor cables should be buried and paved to the indoor through basement. A
piece of steel wire should be paved underground along the pipe and connected
to the lightning protection terminal of the building for shielding. Before
connecting the cable to the device, install a signal lightning arrester on the
corresponding port.
When an aerial cable is set up, the cable should be through a metal pipe (15m
long at least) before coming into the building. The two ends of this metal pipe
should be grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal
lightning arrester on the corresponding port.
It’s not necessary to pave STP cables through pipes. The shielded layer of STP
cable should be well grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install
a signal lightning arrester on the corresponding port.
13
Gigabit Smart Switch
Lightning Protection
Requirements for Cabling Indoors
When cabling indoors, keep a certain distance away from the devices that may
cause high-frequency interferences, such as down-conductor cable, powerline,
power transformer and electromotor.
The main cable should be paved in the metal raceway of the access shaft. When
cabling, keep the loop area formed by the cable itself as small as possible.
Requirements for the distance between Ethernet cable and other pipelines are
shown in the table.

3.2 Connect to Ground
Connecting the device to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and
over-current of the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body
from electric shock.
In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following
will instruct you to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to the
ground via the power supply or connecting to the ground via the grounding terminal.
Please connect the device to ground in the optimum way according to your specific
operation environment.
Note:
For the device without grounding terminal, please refer to the first way
Connecting to the Ground via the Power Supply only.
Connecting to the Ground via the Power Supply
If the device is installed in the normal environment, the device can be grounded via
the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of the AC power supply as shown in the following
figure.

Note:
The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The power plug you
get from the package and the socket in your situation will comply with the
regulation in your country, so they may differ from the figure above.
If you intend to connect the device to the ground via the PE (Protecting
Earth) cable of AC power cord, please make sure the PE (Protecting Earth)
cable in the electrical outlet is well grounded in advance.
Connecting to the Ground via the Grounding Terminal
Use the grounding bar

Equipotential Bonding
Equipotential Bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all
earthed systems to the same grounding grid or connecting the grounding grids of
all the earthed systems together through the ground or overground metal so as
to create an earthed equipotential zone. When lightning occurs, the high voltage
produced by lightning current in all systems will meanwhile exist in their ground
cables, and thus all ground cables have the same electrical potential and basically
eliminate the electric strikes between the systems.
The figure below illustrates how to practice equipotential bonding in a network.
Grounding Terminal Equipotential Bonding Cable
Grounding Bar
Ground Cable
Figure 3-3 Equipotential Bonding
When equipotential bonding, please note that the cable should be copper wrapped
Kelly with its area being 6mm
2
at least. The shorter cable the better, and use a
grounding bar to establish an equipotential bonding point.
Note:
The equipotential bonding cable and ground cable are not provided with
our product. If needed, please self purchase it.
Use Lightning Arrester
Power lightning arrester and signal lightning arrester are used for lighting
protection.
Power lightning arrester is used for limiting the voltage surge due to a lightning. If
an outdoor AC power cord should be directly connected to the device, please use a
power lightning arrester.
